Stephen Curry Quiz – The Man Who Changed Shooting

Stephen Curry is widely seen as the greatest shooter in basketball history. Born in Akron, Ohio, in 1988 and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, he is the son of NBA sharpshooter Dell Curry. Big colleges ignored him because of his slim build, so he went to Davidson College, where he led a famous run to the Elite Eight in 2008.

The Golden State Warriors drafted him seventh in 2009. With Klay Thompson, his partner in the Splash Brothers backcourt, and Draymond Green, he built a dynasty that won titles in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022. In 2016 he became the first unanimous MVP in NBA history after making a record 402 3-pointers in one season.

Curry's long-range shooting changed how the game is played, with teams everywhere taking more 3-point shots. He passed Ray Allen as the all-time 3-point leader in 2021 and became the first player to make 4,000 in 2025. He also won Olympic gold in Paris in 2024 and, in 2026, signed an extension through the 2028-29 season to stay with Golden State, the only NBA team he has played for.
